Boy, 3, in critical condition after pool incident

A three-year-old Tipperary boy remained in a critical condition last night after getting into difficulty in a hotel pool on holiday in East Cork.

He was transferred by ambulance to Temple Street Children’s University Hospital in Dublin last night, a few hours after being taken to a Cork City hospital.

The boy was found face-down in the water shortly before 2pm at the Quality Hotel Youghal’s 20-metre pool.
